Metalosis Maligna
Metalosis Maligna is a documentary by Floris Kaayk about a disease which affects patients with medical implants. Sourcing from such implants a wild metal growth ultimately transforms human patients into mechanical looking constructions.
Yes. This IS culturally emerged nature.
Nicely done in this documentry style and great concept the Metalosis.
Very cool idea. I had something similar thought up with a nano-technological disease, but then I never got past the concept stage. Great work.
Since Dorkbot last spring with the Order Electrus I’ve been a fan of this great animator. I think this movie is even better!

is this BULLSHIT?…100%
No omg, this is not a real disease, literately at least. But an imaginary movie that visualizes how humans are totally intertwined with technology. So I would not say it is ’100% Bullshit’.
This is an excellent example of how some good animation and a creative mind can blur the line between reality and imagination.
wow very interesting video! really nice done.
that is very scarey out of all the things i have seen in my career that is the worst
There are enough diseases out there already without making shit up. Ha ha funny….not!
I honestly thought this was real at first, then the more i watched, the less it seemed real but it scared the shit out of me hahahaha nice job
Dear Koert,
I’m a writer based in Los Angeles.
I want to keep you in the loop of an Art Book/World-class Anthology worth your attention and support. The title is: THE NEXT THING: ART IN THE 21st CENTURY and it bring together a dream-team of artists and theorists from all over the world, all attempting to anticipate the art of the future and the sensibility that will define our times.
The book will come out later this year by Fairleigh Dickinson U. Press
Below I’m pasting the index of titles so you can have a better sense of the contributors and their themes most of them working in a middle ground between art and science, cultural theory and counter-culture, philosophy and fiction.
